Can someone supply me with an OS 3.9 emergency disk?
« on: November 26, 2007, 08:21:15 PM »
Hi,

Please bear with me here, as this may get long winded.

I registered here a while ago and have been out of the Amiga scene for a couple of years after buying a whole load of upgrades because I could not get OS 3.9 installed correctly after trying it every night for about 3 weeks. I just got so scunnerd with it.

I  was trying to setup a 4.3 gig drive which I believe you can do with 3.9 with no problems? System partition worked fine and the other 3 always showed on the desktop but would not let you write or view them without the system hanging. I assume it was omething to do with a file system issue from the emergency disk I created from a harddrive I got with a machine someone else had hacked about with.

If someone has a bare bones emergency disk with no issues could you be so kind as to e-mail the files to me so I can put them on an Amiga disk using cross dos? If so my e-mail address is: robert.mk@ntlworld.com

I used to love the Amiga and want to get this A4000 setup and working as I have a CV64 3D and a Warp Engine 040@40MHz with about 90mb on it if I remember correctly. It's a shame I can't use it!!! If I cn get this machine working properly I would like to get it on the internet at sometime too.

Any help is much appreciated,

Thanks,

Robert.

P.S. The drive is an ide.
Also have a couple of A500s and a 1200.

Thanks A4000 Mad, I got the file. Not heard of the file format before but will try and figure it out. I have my hard drive and CD setup as you described and have put the file onto a CD on the PC to take up to the Amiga.

I managed to get a couple of free night and after remembering a few things about the Amiga I seem to have got it working with the disk you supplied. Thank you very much for your help...

...but I can get the CDROM to work when I then boot from the hard drive. Can someone explain how to setup the CDROM? Once that's done I'll install the 2 boing bags which I have on a CD and then my GFX card software.

Thanks,

Robert
